I already had a Samsung flip phone, so I went online to find out which phone would be compatible with the model I had. The Illusion was one of two listed. I didn't have to go to the store to activate; I was able to follow directions and activate it at home. I was also able to keep the same phone number. The new plan was even $5.00 less than the one I currently had (they were both Verizon prepaid plans). Hope this helps!!!

Depends. Some service providers "marry" their SIM cards to the phone, others do not. Even then if one appears in person, the store will provide a new SIM card that will work in the unlocked phone.

I'm not entirely sure but I'm guessing once you buy a phone that's "unlocked" it should work, I activated my Sim card with the iPhone I ordered but headphone jack didn't work so returned it and bought galaxy instead(unlocked at&t;)and still works with my providers Sim card(cricket basically any unlocked phone works)again not entirely sure but if it's unlocked your Sim card should be all you need to activate new phone, to be sure ask a local AT&T; store hope this helped.

Yes you can. If go to the store they will charge you, you can either put the sim from the other phone in it, or use the new one and use the and call metro pcs and they will activate it for free. When you do this , the automated service will ask to choose a plan, if you already have a smartphone plan you pick that one, unless you want to change it to another smartphone plan. It's was easy and I save $35 buck that the store wanted to charge me.

I was able to activate my phone under the verizon plan that I already had. You will have to have some sort of plan/contract in order to use the phone.

Yes. I used it to replace a phone on our plan. When the phone arrived we went online and just swapped them out.

No it won't. Verizon won't activate it because it's not a Verizon brand phone. I bought this and it's still in the box because they wouldn't do it. AT&T however will send you a sim card for it, with your same number, and get much better phone service and customer service. It's worth it to switch!

Hello, Yes, this phone will work and activate on your existing Verizon post paid account.

Hey D.E.,You need some sort of provider. I just moved my sim card from my old phone to the new. This should work even if you use a pay as you go plan. I use the t-Mobile yearly pre-paid plan - I just need to top it off to $100 each year.Really like this phone by the way.

yes. We just took it to the ATT Store and they activated it for service on our existing account.

I think so. I wanted a new number so got a new one (for free) from the T-Mobile store, but I believe if you transfer your old one, it will work.

Yes you can use your existing sim card to activate your new handset. The SIM card contains information about your account and has 'passwords' to activate the new phone. Changing the handset (your new phone) should not affect your account at all.

If the phone you are buying was on verizon before then yes. Just go to a verizon store and have the phones swapped on your account. Make sure you wipe your old phone if you sell ir.
